CHESTER SPRINGS, PA — Join Dorothy and Toto on their unforgettable adventure swept over the rainbow to the merry old land of Oz in SALT’s magical, reimagined stage adaptation of L. Frank Baum’s beloved tale, featuring the iconic musical score from the MGM film. Our take on this timeless tale will thrill SALT audiences of all ages. A meet and greet with the characters will take place after each performance!
“Everyone knows Oz – seen the movie, perhaps a live stage production or two, and loves it,” comments Lauren McComas, President and Artistic Director of SALT Performing Arts. “However, audiences will be BLOWN AWAY by our delightfully creative costumes and makeup, Broadway-quality innovative set engineering, and the phenomenal talent of our performers!”
